Ding Ding Ding We have a winner.

You can say all you want about how Saddam was a bad man. He was. There are many around. One in North Korea that actually HAS a WOMD is certainly more of a threat. And these mysterious un-named links to Al-Qeada are weak at best. I'm sure many countries, including the USA, could have those kind of weak links if you tried to spin it right. But in reality, that is pretty much what it is, spin. No link to 9/11 at all.
Let's see:

HAMAS; blow up innocent children and destroy all life of the ones they hate for their "justified" cause and no negotiation has ever worked.

Al Qaeda; mission is to blow up innocent children and destroy all life of the ones they hate for their "justified" cause and no negotiation has ever worked.

Hizballah; mission is to blow up innocent children and destroy all life of the ones they hate for their "justified" cause and no negotiation has ever worked.

al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades; mission is to blow up innocent children and destroy all life of the ones they hate for their "justified" cause and no negotiation has ever worked.

Abu Nidal Organization; mission is to blow up innocent children and destroy all life of the ones they hate for their "justified" cause and no negotiation has ever worked.

Naw, there's no connection here, ya think?

Having read many posts with such a myopic scope of the world terrorist organizations just boggles my mind. This is definitely a global issue and if you think for one second that it is not, then you better be really up on camping, hunting and fishing because life as you know will cease to exist. The main objective of these organizations is not to physically destroy our country (USA) because they counld'nt, but if they could managed to destroy 90% of our economy, you can only imagine the consequences.
Those groups listed actually have quite different scopes, agendas, and capabilities. You can't just classify all groups who conduct attacks on civilians (terrorist attacks) as the same, otherwise where is the IRA, ETA, Abu Sayaf, FARC... on that list? Why aren't we hunting them with such fervor?
By this logic, we should invade northern Ireland and get them!
